Are savings bonds a good way to save for college?
That depends on how comfortable you are with investment risk and how much time you have before your child starts college. The principal tenet of investing is that risk equals reward. In this case, savings bonds are a safe and secure investment, but they pay very low rates of return. When interest rates are low, bond return rates tend to be low. ChaCha on!
